- High Court
Summary judgment was dismissed because the defendant's accord and satisfaction defence, based on an oral meeting whose terms were contested and where contemporaneous emails and witness accounts conflicted, could not be categorically ruled out as non-arguable; the factual disputes about what was agreed and the legal effect of any agreement required an oral hearing and credibility assessment.
